Applications of Pipe conveyor system for ore conveying in modern port

In recent years, the ore throughput is increasing dramatically in port and terminal. The traditional way is making use of dumper truck to transport ores to smelters. It may cause a lot of pressure and make great pollution to the environment. And the road transport will need extra big cost per year.

Pipe conveyor is a mature transporting machine now.

To solve these problems, pipe belt conveyor was developed. The pipe conveyor system was first developed by JPC. More and more countries begin to build pipe conveyor system to transport mineral ores since 1970. Because of continuous developing in many manufacturers, pipe belt machine transport technology is becoming more and more mature.

From the current point of view, the pipe belt conveyor is more adaptable to the environment, and the operation is very stable, and it is very suitable for transporting bulk material in a long-distance and complex terrain operation.

What bulk materials can we transport with pipe conveyor?

We can apply pipe belt conveyor in port, steel plant, cement plant, metallurgical plant, thermal power plant, paper making plant, etc. We can use it to handle dry bulk materials like coal, cement, clinker, sand, fertilizer, iron ore, copper ore, bauxite, mixed ore, sinter, coke, grains, crushed fine, etc. We even can use it to convey paper pulp.

It is widely used in connecting port to plant. You can even use pipe conveyor and mobile ship loader to for a barge loading conveyor system.

What are the features of pipe belt conveyor?

1. Because of its ability to turn, we can build it in complex terrain to decrease the amount of transportation site and save cost of building transferring sites.

2. All the bulk materials are transported in an enclosed space. There will be no spillage during the transport process. And it is also not disturbed by the weather.

3. The truss frame structure of pipe conveyor gives the ability itself to bear a high loading pressure. When the conveyor system is overhead, it can also save a lot of corridor infrastructure costs.

4. The pipe belt machine mainly uses the centralized control system for equipment operation. It can save people and reduce the rate of equipment failure.

5. The pipe conveyor just needs small footprint, and can save infrastructure investment and land acquisition costs.
